Flink CDC is a distributed data integration tool for real time data and batch data. Flink CDC brings the simplicity and elegance of data integration via YAML to describe the data movement and transformation in a Data Pipeline.

The Flink CDC prioritizes efficient end-to-end data integration and offers enhanced functionalities such as full database synchronization, sharding table synchronization, schema evolution and data transformation.

1. Prepare a Apache Flink cluster and set up FLINK_HOME environment variable.
2. Download Flink CDC tar, unzip it and put jars of pipeline connector to Flink lib directory.
3. Create a YAML file to describe the data source and data sink, the following example synchronizes all tables under MySQL app_db database to Doris :

 source:
   type: mysql
   hostname: localhost
   port: 3306
   username: root
   password: 123456
   tables: app_db.\.*

 sink:
   type: doris
   fenodes: 127.0.0.1:8030
   username: root
   password: ""

 transform:
   - source-table: adb.web_order01
     projection: \*, format('%S', product_name) as product_name
     filter: addone(id) > 10 AND order_id > 100
     description: project fields and filter
   - source-table: adb.web_order02
     projection: \*, format('%S', product_name) as product_name
     filter: addone(id) > 20 AND order_id > 200
     description: project fields and filter

 route:
   - source-table: app_db.orders
     sink-table: ods_db.ods_orders
   - source-table: app_db.shipments
     sink-table: ods_db.ods_shipments
   - source-table: app_db.products
     sink-table: ods_db.ods_products

 pipeline:
   name: Sync MySQL Database to Doris
   parallelism: 2
   user-defined-function:
     - name: addone
       classpath: com.example.functions.AddOneFunctionClass
     - name: format
       classpath: com.example.functions.FormatFunctionClass

4. Submit pipeline job using flink-cdc.sh script.

 bash bin/flink-cdc.sh /path/mysql-to-doris.yaml

5. View job execution status through Flink WebUI or downstream database.
